Morning Rituals and Opening Duties
The sun hasn’t quite made its appearance when I arrive at KushMart for my morning shift. As a budtender, my day begins with essential inventory checks and ensuring our display cases are pristine and properly stocked.
Customer Education and Care
One of the most rewarding aspects of my position is helping customers navigate their cannabis journey. From first-time users seeking relief from anxiety to experienced consumers exploring new products, each interaction brings unique opportunities to educate and assist.
Throughout the day, I:
- Answer questions about different strains and consumption methods
- Stay updated on new products arriving in store
- Maintain compliance with state regulations
- Keep display cases organized and labeled correctly
Afternoon Rush
The post-lunch rush brings a diverse crowd of customers. Some are on their lunch breaks, while others are planning their evening relaxation. Each sale requires attention to detail, proper ID verification, and careful documentation.
Closing Time
As the day winds down, we focus on:
- Reconciling daily sales
- Cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces
- Preparing inventory reports
- Setting up for the next day
Working in this rapidly evolving industry keeps me on my toes, and no two days are exactly alike. It’s a privilege to be part of a team that prioritizes education, compliance, and customer satisfaction in equal measure.
Remember: This industry requires constant learning and adaptation, but that’s what makes it so exciting to be part of this growing field.
